Broadcasting basics

The fastest way to fax one document to many recipients is to broadcast it.

In an ordinary broadcast, you send the fax as you normally would, except you just add more fax numbers. You can enter up to 230 numbers:

•30 manually-dialed numbers AND

•200 autodialer numbers OR 1 call group with all 200 autodialer numbers

You can broadcast using any function that requires a fax number to be entered. That means you can send a delayed broadcast, program a polling broad- cast and even broadcast to “hub” units for F-Coderelay broadcast initiation. All of these are explained in this chapter.

To send a broadcast fax:

1	Insert the document and make any necessary adjustments as you would for a
	regular fax transmission.
2	Press BROADCAST.
3	Enter the first fax number, as usual. Use either a one-touch number, a speed-
	dial number, a call group or a regular number dialed from the numeric keypad.
4	To add more fax numbers, press BROADCAST between each one to insert a
	comma. Then enter the number as described in step 3 (GROUP DIAL inserts its own
	comma). You can send to up to 230 numbers for a broadcast.
		Press Start
		[03],S098,[10],9-555
	Important: Do not insert a comma after the last fax number.
	Note: If you enter characters by mistake, press CANCEL to erase them.
5	Press START. Your fax machine scans the document into memory and then
	sends it to each number or call group you’ve entered.

Delayed broadcasting

What if you want the broadcast to take place later? That’s the purpose of setting up a delayed broadcast.

Note: Delayed commands are discussed in detail later. You may want to read “Delayed transmission” on page 2.17 before proceeding.

1 Follow steps 1–4 of “Broadcasting basics” (left column).

2 Press COM-OPTIONS,ENTER.

3 Use the numeric keypad to enter the day of the month and time (in 24-hour format) when you want the broadcast to occur.

Here, we’ve scheduled it for 10:15 PM on the 30th.

Delayed

Enter Time: 30/22:15

When finished, press ENTER to save the setting.

4 Press START. Your machine will return to standby mode, while showing this on the LCD:

** Reserved ** Jan 29 2000 17:17

This means your fax machine is “reserved” for the delayed broadcast you just programmed, but it can still be used to send and receive faxes if your broadcast document is stored in memory.

Making changes to broadcasts

If you need to make changes in a broadcast after setting it up, use the REVIEW COMMANDS function. See “Reviewing or cancelling parts of a broadcast,” page 2.18.
